RT1000p Amp Fuse

gfudala

It may be wishful thinking at this point, but my dead RT1000p amp blew a fuse and I'd like to try replacing said fuse first.

What is the amperage on this fuse? It's not clearly marked on the fuse itself. I see "T1L250V", so I feel pretty good about it being 250 volts.

Welcome to the forum - Nice speakers. They were my very first Polks and very few people own the old reference 1000 models.
I have never blown a fuse on mine in the last 7 years. Do you have the manual it may be in thier. Or talk to Polk Cust. service and they will be glad to help.

Hey Scott,
Glad to be here! They have really served me well for... 5½ years now. Until this one croaked, of course.

I did check out the manual, but there are no such technical details there. If I don't see a response here, I'll give Polk support a call & then post my findings.

Hello Scott,
The AC fuse for the RT1000p speaker is 1 Ampere, 250 Volt, time delay type that is 5mm x 20mm in size. However, unless you have experienced a power surge, where you live, a blown fuse is indicating a problem with the amplifier. In other words, replacing the fuse might not solve the problem.

Thanks for the details, Ken. I'm suspicious that it might have been a power surge, as the voltage at my place fluctuates a fair amount based on what I see on my line conditioner... 2 of my RT1000p's are my rear channels, and thus were plugged directly into the outlets with no filtration or protection.

I swapped the fuse out... so far, so good.

Hello Gene,
I hope the fuse is the answer.
